Bethany N
Bethany N. was born December 2, 2009.
Bethany and her younger sister Sheila are both part of our Sonrise family. Their mother, who is HIV-positive, was struggling to care for her large family of ten children. Concerned for the girls' wellbeing—Bethany was becoming malnourished, and Sheila was still being breastfed and at risk of contracting HIV—we stepped in to provide the care they needed. Their mother is still alive but very sick and continually moving and stable.
Since then, both girls have transitioned to the Sonrise Children’s Home and are thriving. Bethany is now in secondary school and doing wonderfully, she has truly blossomed this past year. She has a deep passion for all things beauty, hair, and fashion. Every bit of money she receives, she carefully saves with the dream of one day opening her very own hair salon.
Bethany also has a beautiful singing voice and loves sharing her gift with others. She’s creative, determined, and full of grace—well on her way to building a bright future.
